An RCMP officer has been found guilty of accessing and possession child porn while stationed in Fond du Lac.
The verdict against Constable Aiden Pratchett was delivered by a judge in a Saskatoon courtroom this morning.
The judge rejected Pratchett’s denial, saying it was unlikely anyone could have remotely placed the images on his computer. The judge also said evidence proved Pratchett was the only one with access to his computer.
The RCMP suspended Pratchett the day after investigators seized his devices in October 2014 as part of a child porn investigation.
He was removed from Fond du Lac after charges were laid two months later.
Pratchett has also been the subject of an internal RCMP investigation.
The sentencing will be held at a later date.
